But why did Cheng Taiqian suddenly mention this matter?
"Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"This is related to the exposure of your relationship with Irene in the future. If someone points this out, you must not directly deny it. You must choose to ignore it, unless the tempo is very loud and many people press you."
"I know." Liu Xin'an nodded. Of course he knew this. If he was so stubborn on this point, it would be very difficult to show off his cards later.
Just pretend to be stupid. If the relationship is exposed later, he will be able to quibble.
"We never denied it from the beginning, but everyone didn't think about it~"
Hmm. If he said that, he would probably be scolded to death by water friends.
"It would be great if you understand. It would be great if someone could point this out. Can you find a way to guide fans to think about this?"
Cheng Taiqian thought for a moment, and then suggested under Liu Xin'an's shocked gaze.
Liu Xin'an was dumbfounded: "Brother, if you are serious, you are still joking."
"Seriously, if you and Irene are sure that no decisive factors have been exposed, I actually recommend that you let the fans think about it for a while. It will be good for both you and Irene."
Anyway, the relationship is already so complicated now, so why not make it complicated to the end.
Liu Xin'an smiled awkwardly and didn't answer.
He doesn't think this is a good thing. He can only say that people in the two countries have different understandings of public opinion.
He is no longer the outsider who doesn't understand anything about these things. He has been here for so long, and Liu Xin'an already has his own opinions on these things.
"I will not take the initiative to guide fans to think in this regard. In my eyes, these are too dangerous. We cannot control the thoughts of fans."
The unknown brings only uncertainty. No one can guarantee that this will lead to good results in the future. Facing the unknown, Liu Xin'an is still the same as before.
Be cautious!
After knowing each other for so long, Cheng Taiqian also knew that Liu Xin'an was the kind of character who would not fight an uncertain battle, so he didn't say anything more and just nodded.
"Okay, I've brought the message. I'll send you the restaurant reservation later. Let's meet in the evening."
"Okay Brother Taiqian."
After the business was finished, Cheng Taiqian no longer needed to stay here. He simply greeted Liu Xin'an and then waved goodbye to the man.
Liu Xin'an watched Cheng Taiqian leave and stood there alone thinking for a while.
In the end, he shook his head and got rid of some complicated thoughts.
For now, the rhythm is neither too big nor too small, which is completely acceptable. The irritable water friends gradually calmed down under his comfort, and those rational water friends also reappeared.
Similarly, everyone has also discovered that there are many "pure strangers" and "ten-year-old fans" who deliberately set the rhythm within them. Compared with the unfair treatment by the program team, these group of rhythmic bastards are even more difficult to describe.
This carnival from Liu Xin'an fans suddenly came to an end.
After all, he is an anchor, and he is more of a fan than a fan.
Now that the rhythm has calmed down, there is no need for him to bring another wave of rhythm.
If possible, he doesn't want to see his water friends quarreling with Bae Zhuhyun's fans.
In his eyes, his water friends and Bae Zhuhyun's fans are the same.
How can one's own family quarrel with one's own family?
In this way, time passed little by little, and before I knew it, it was already half past six in the afternoon.
The agreed dinner time was at seven o'clock in the evening. Since he was an invited person, Liu Xin'an certainly couldn't go there at seven o'clock.
Don't think he is making a fuss, he doesn't want to lose the face of his motherland because of this trivial matter.
After briefly sorting out his outfit, Liu Xin'an walked into the restaurant sent by Cheng Taiqian at 6:50.
After telling the waiter who greeted him at the door that he was looking for someone, he was taken to the door of a private room.
The restaurant I chose was a very authentic Chinese restaurant. It was probably chosen specially by Director Jin considering his taste.
Because the private room door was not closed, when the waiter brought Liu Xin'an in, several people sitting in the private room all stood up together.
In addition to the familiar Bae Joo-hyun, Son Seung-wan, and Sung Tae-cheon, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle wearing glasses and giving off a meticulous look is probably the one who invited him this time.
"Xin'an, here we come."
"Well, Brother Taiqian."
"Let me introduce to you, this is Director Kim, the artist director in charge of our Red Velvet schedule." Cheng Taiqian first introduced Director Kim to Liu Xin'an, and then turned to look at Director Kim, "Director
, this is Mr. Liu Xin’an.”
Director Jin showed a gentle smile and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Liu Xin'an is more handsome than he looks in the video. He is really handsome and humble beyond imagination."
"You are so complimentary. Ah, and Irene and Wendy, how are you doing lately?"
After answering Room Manager Jin first, Liu Xin'an also didn't forget his girlfriend and his girlfriend's sister. He turned his attention to the two girls and asked kindly.
Bae Zhuhyun and Son Seungwan nodded. The former showed no expression, while the latter showed a bright smile to him.
It seemed as if Son Seung-wan had a better relationship with him.
Be cautious! Too cautious!
"Have a seat, Xin'an. I don't know what dishes suit your taste, so I ordered some of your usual favorites. This restaurant has a good reputation and you won't be disappointed."
The person hosting this dinner was the middleman Cheng Taiqian.
He spoke to Liu Xin'an in a friendly manner and softly explained the reason for choosing this store.
There is no need to come up and talk about business, it must be to build relationships and get closer.
Liu Xin'an also nodded in agreement: "Brother, please take the trouble. I'm not very picky. You can just bring some barbecue and come to my house to find me."
"Hahaha, how can that be done?"
"Thank you so much this time, Mr. Liu Xin'an." Office Director Jin, who was always smiling at the side, saw that the chat between the two had come to an end and intervened in the conversation.
After Chief Jin spoke, Cheng Taiqian stopped talking. He sat quietly aside and observed the two of them with his eyes.
The rightful owner has arrived!
This thought flashed through his mind, and Liu Xin'an waved his hand modestly: "You are serious. It's not just Irene and Wendy who have gained a lot this time. I also benefited a lot from it. I used to speculate with big stars.
CP has this kind of feeling, it really makes me feel very novel."
"I hope you don't find it strange. I heard that your girlfriend is from our country. If possible, you can bring her to visit our S-M when you return to the country."
Although it has declined in recent years, S-M is still the top leader in the Korean entertainment industry.
Being known as the "Flower Field" is no joke. Even if he has never met Liu Xin'an's girlfriend, he can still assert that Liu Xin'an's girlfriend will definitely have an idol she likes in S-M. Director Jin is very concerned about this matter.
Have confidence.
However, Director Jin's words made the two people present a little embarrassed.
Sung Tae-cheon and Bae Joo-hyun were expressionless. They had already known about Chief Kim's idea before.
But Sun Shengwan and Liu Xin'an were a bit hard to explain.
Sun Shengwan lowered his head to prevent Chief Kim from observing his uncontrollable smile.
As for Liu Xin'an, he also maintained a surprised expression, and then waved his hands hurriedly.
"Forget it. My girlfriend only likes Red Velvet, but she is quite shy. It would be too difficult for her to meet directly."
"That's it, then Tai Qian, go back and give some Red Velvet peripherals to Mr. Liu Xin'an's girlfriend."
"this"
"Isn't it natural for an idol to give some gifts to fans to thank her for her support?"
Liu Xin'an had nothing to say this time. He nodded helplessly and agreed for "Little Bamboo".
My girlfriend
She should have a lot of information about Red Velvet.
After all, she is the captain of Red Velvet, Miss Bae Joo-hyun.
The small talk was almost enough. During the chat, the ordered dishes were served one by one.
Soon, the table was filled with delicious traditional Chinese food.
Bae Zhuhyun and Son Seungwan knew very well that they would not have any impact on this communication, so their purpose was very clear.
Just have a big meal, take photos, and send them to the members back home to show off.
"I wonder if Mr. Liu Xin'an will continue to cooperate after the filming of this program is over. To be honest, your CP with Irene is currently in full swing. We don't want this good cooperative relationship to end hastily.
"
Director Jin went straight to the point and expressed his attitude in a calm voice.
Liu Xin'an did not expect that Chief Jin would be so direct. He originally thought that Chief Jin would express his words tactfully and then say some words that were not scene-y.
It's so straightforward, it's really unexpected.
However, Liu Xin'an didn't think much about it. He nodded with a smile and replied cooperatively: "I have also benefited a lot from it. Of course I want to continue if I can, but the problem is that Irene and others cannot operate so smoothly in our country.
, if you continue to market us, what specific help will it bring?"
"That's right. You should also know that Red Velvet plans to come back in August, right?"
"Yes, I heard Brother Taiqian mention this matter to Wendy." Liu Xin'an deliberately did not say Bae Zhuhyun's name. Cheng Taiqian asked him not to expose his relationship with Bae Zhuhyun, and Liu Xin'an strictly implemented this.
"So the region I chose for this marketing campaign is our country."
"Are you marketing my and Irene's CP in Korea?" Liu Xin'an was confused. If he could understand this in China, at least he also had a fan base.
But if you go abroad
"You are also very popular in our country now. Everyone is very curious about you and Irene, a pair of transnational CPs. Moreover, many women in our country are interested in your polite and humble qualities.
, for them, your existence is novel."
"You mean, even if I come to Goryeo, I will be welcome?"
"Yes, after our analysis, we feel that this is not a difficult matter."
Liu Xin'an was not blindly tempted by this big pie, and he was not a young boy who had just left school. Although his experience as an anchor was not as good as that of some serious social beasts who had been in society, but
Over time, his experience has become much richer.
"If you really do this, I would like to ask, how do you plan to do it?"
Liu Xin'an himself knows very well that his popularity will not last long.
After all, he is a person with few works. Even though he is popular because of his personality and appearance, he will eventually be abandoned by the public without any works.
He is just a bad game player, but his appearance is more outstanding among other bad game players.
When the show ends and he is no longer exposed, Liu Xin'an himself has no idea how many of the viewers who originally came for his appearance will be left.
"You haven't opened a YouTube account?"
"Well, there are things going on, but I've never done much business."
"Are you interested in joining our S-M?"
".Eh?"
This was a question that exceeded Liu Xin'an's expectations.
Also frightened by this proposal was Bae Joo Hyun.
She showed an expression of astonishment, but then she lowered her head after realizing it.
Fortunately, Director Jin had been observing Liu Xin'an's expression and did not notice anything strange about her.
"You want me to be an artist too?"
"No, no, no, we just signed a contract with our S-M. If there is any need for publicity in the future, we can promote it through your YouTube account, which is a form of publicity."
As long as it has something to do with public opinion, S-M will definitely find a way to get involved.
Nowadays, this kind of personal media accounts are becoming more and more influential. Nowadays, if S-M holds some activities, it will also let some highly influential personal media to participate.
At this time, Chief Kim's approach was to completely bind Liu Xin'an to S-M.
They sensed Liu Xin'an's potential and the meaning behind the pairing of Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuhyun.
CP feeling? That’s just a way of confusing laymen.
What they really value is the China and Korea hidden behind Liu Xin'an and Bae Zhuxuan.
S-M has offended Hua Xia before, and so far S-M has been trying to ease their relationship with Hua Xia. This is a very good opportunity, not to mention Chief Jin, even Chief Jin’s immediate boss, the
The chairman, who no longer interferes much in company affairs, attaches great importance to this matter.
Next year is a very important year. It happens to be the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries since 1992.
In such a critical period, it would definitely be a very good thing if a "couple" appears that is highly sought after by both Chinese and Korean young people.
This is also an important reason why Director Jin takes this matter so seriously and even takes the initiative to come all the way.
". Let me ask a little bit, do you mean that I need to be on YouTube and often post videos about Red velvet to build momentum for Red velvet's return?"
"That's one thing. The main thing is that I hope you can create sparks with the people in Red Velvet."
Anyway, if you want to speculate on CP, you can actually speculate with anyone, it doesn’t have to be Bae Joo Hyun.
Whoever the audience likes, they will support.
"Sparks."
Liu Xin'an was amused by this implicit statement. He cleared his throat and said in a strange tone: "You should know that I have a girlfriend."
"Yes, so if you don't mind, we can explain it to your girlfriend in person."
"Ah, there's no need for that, she trusts me."
Good guy, he almost shot himself in the foot. Liu Xin'an broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly refused.
"As long as your girlfriend doesn't misunderstand it, we can clarify it for you at any time. You don't have to worry about this."
"I probably understand. There is another very important question."
"You say."
Liu Xin'an looked at Director Jin, his expression became much more serious.
"What are Eileen and Wendy's opinions on this matter? Since it's going to be marketing, their opinions should also be a very important part, right?"
This statement stunned several people present.
Yes, when it comes to getting down to business, neither Sung Tae-cheon nor Chief Kim has mentioned the opinions of Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan.
In other words, their opinions don't matter.
They only need to do what is decided above, there is nothing they can refuse.
Of course, in fact, Bae Zhuhyun and Son Seungwan would not refuse. This is something that is good for them, so they have no need to refuse.
"Hahaha, yes, Erin and Wendy's opinions are also important. This is your return after all." Director Jin laughed. This young man who was different from their usual thinking really made him feel novel.
.
He did not dislike such young people. On the contrary, his evaluation of Liu Xin'an was much higher.
No matter where they go, humble and polite people will be well received, and Liu Xin'an is so thoughtful.
Director Kim is not the kind of leader who crazily exploits artists. This can be seen from the fact that he made up for Son Seung-wan and helped Bae Joo-hyun suppress public opinion.
It is true that he cannot be called a good leader in terms of resource allocation, but he has never deducted any resources.
The company has many things to consider. If Bae Joo Hyun's popularity is not suppressed, Red Velvet will become another Miss A.
Miss A is also a girl group, but compared to this name, another name may be more famous than their group name.
Bae Suzy and her backup dancers.
If Bae Joo Hyun's popularity is not suppressed, Red Velvet might become another Miss A.
Bae Joo Hyun and her backup dancers?
Naturally, the company does not want to see this situation.
"Eileen, Wendy, just tell the truth. If Mr. Liu Xin'an is allowed to join you in pre-comeback activities, you will also have to cooperate with him in filming for the subsequent comeback schedule. Are you willing?"
Director Kim's gentle voice made Sun Shengwan not sure how to respond. She looked at Bae Zhuhyun beside her and turned to her captain for help as a habit.
As for Bae Joo Hyun?
The usually steady captain's eyes shone brightly and she nodded hurriedly.
"I have no opinion!"
Just kidding, Bae Zhuhyun is thinking about everything right now.
